History

So I have an amazing History teacher. Were learning about global history right now and studying the diffrent types of government. For a lesson he told us to write down the fundemental powers of the government. He then proceded to tell us to make them into governmental power balls, he told us to make paper balls. Then he told us a confederacy is where all the states, us, have the power and if the central government wants somthing the state can simply throw their power at the central government. He closed his eyes and told us to go ahead.
Afterwards he continued the lesson with union governments, where all the power is invested in the central government. That is not nessecarily a dictatorship, it still works as a democracy. However he then proceded to throw the paper balls back at us.
Finally he told us about Federalists, which is when both the states and central gov't have power. We got into a paper ball fight.

How many teachers tell you to throw stuff at them, He's freaking awesome.
